Basement




Oh look they've reused the set from THE HOLE that could be cool. Or not as it happens.

When some anti-war protestors stop for a pee they stumble upon an underground bunker and get locked in. Three minutes layer they're shouting about never getting out of here while walking incredibly slowly to get out all their exposition while walking through a very small, limited set that is opposed to be maze. Shambles heaps upon shambles as we leap from disjointed scene to disjointed scene that seems like a bunch of monkeys have written in their own shit.

If it wasn't for British horrors like 28 DAYS LATER or THE DESCENT you would be forgiven for thinking Britain cannot make horror films to save themselves. It certainly seems like the writers, director and producers of BASEMENT can't. While it is well photographed, which is usually where low budget movies loose out the "script" is an incoherent jumble, or perhaps it is the edit and editor that is at fault. Whichever the film is directionless, the acting wooden and forced so the director is certainly to blame as are the producers for finding money for this utter waste of time. I can only say this is the worst horror film I have ever seen and I have watched Uwe Bolls genre fallacies.

This movie is so utterly atrocious I've shrivelled up and ingested myself.
